Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 361 Another Battle Against the Three Heavens
After the battle ended, Mo Qingshuang and the other three exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat complicated.

too fast!
As soon as they activated their magic seals, intending to make a move, Senior Brother Chen had already easily dealt with all the cultivators of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect.

In this way, the four of them seem somewhat superfluous, unable to even provide any assistance.

'This guy doesn't seem like a Golden Core cultivator at all!'

Looking at the devastated canyon, Yan's expression changed slightly.

For it, defeating five Golden Core cultivators was nothing.

But Chen Beiwu is different. If it is not mistaken, the other party is currently only a Golden Core Peak cultivator, yet he can easily defeat a Golden Core Perfection genius.

Besides, what surprised Yan even more was Chen Beiwu's philanthropy.

The key to understanding the principles of mutual learning lies in compatibility.

For cultivators in the Immortal Alliance to become stronger, having more contracted beasts is not necessarily better; quite the opposite.

The Fellow Beast is a companion to cultivators who cultivate together, verifying each other's path to immortality.

In the early stages of cultivation, ordinary geniuses will only choose one symbiotic beast to cultivate with, and later they will gradually select suitable symbiotic beasts to supplement their spiritual root aptitude.

Simply put, blindly pursuing the bloodline and quantity of the same beast is a major taboo in the path of cultivation through beasts. It can easily cause cultivators of the Immortal Alliance to be distracted, have a mixed foundation, and have an impure path.

Chen Beiwu is now able to simultaneously contract and cultivate three Heavenly Gang Mystic Beasts whose strength is extremely close to that of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, and perfectly balance the contracted beasts, achieving harmonious Qi, stable soul, and smooth flow of magical power.

Without a doubt, Chen Beiwu is not only an unparalleled genius in the art of beast taming, but also possesses a profound foundation far surpassing his peers.

In the Immortal Alliance, this shared foundation is even more important than some rare and precious materials.

After all, no matter how many rare and precious herbs an ordinary Immortal Alliance Golden Core prodigy consumes, how can they compare to Chen Beiwu, who is blessed with the combined power of the three Heavenly Gangs?

'This qualification is indeed excellent, but unfortunately, I dislike competing for things!'

As Yan's thoughts raced, flames flickered around him, sparking tiny sparks, before his gaze fell upon Yu Zhaohua.

Compared to Chen Beiwu, Yu Zhaohua was its more desired target.

Of course, this is on the premise that the other party is willing to give up the Flint Dragon for their sake.

"Let's continue clearing the area and find another place with abundant earth energy to set up the formation."

After receiving the jade token from the Five Qi Vine, Chen Beiwu looked towards the shimmering aura of fortune emanating from the distant mountains.

Concealing and hiding one's vital energy?

Before his Nine-Breath Breath Control Divine Power, all concealment and ambush are meaningless.

……

On the other side, the Shangqing Immortal Sect's team.

"Although it's not Chen Beiwu, it's still nice to meet you!" Zhao Yue paused, raised her eyebrows slightly, and revealed a smile of interest.

For her, being able to crush and defeat her former equally matched opponents is a rare experience.

"You stay here and keep watch."

After saying that, Zhao Yue took a step, and her slender figure disappeared instantly.

"That's it again!"

Zhao Qing and Zhao Yu exchanged a glance, their faces showing helplessness.

At the same time, Wang Chan's eyelids twitched, sensing something was wrong, and he quickly flipped over and mounted the Azure Ox of Heaven.

"Get out!"

Before he finished speaking, the temperature in this area suddenly dropped, and an invisible chill instantly surged into the hearts of the Taiqing Immortal Sect cultivators.

The next instant, a figure in pure white appeared silently, standing behind Zhuang Fu, without any warning.

"Watch out, it's Zhao Yue!"

The Golden Core prodigies of the Taiqing Immortal Sect are all seasoned veterans. The moment they sensed the abnormal temperature, they reacted immediately and decisively joined forces with their fellow beasts to unleash a defensive magic technique.

boom!
boom!
boom!
Even with the perfect coordination of the Taiqing Immortal Sect's prodigies, they still found it difficult to resist a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

After exchanging only a few blows, the surging Earthly Fiend True Qi around Zhuang Fu and his three companions instantly dimmed, turning into lifelike ice sculptures along with their contracted companion beasts.

"Moo."

The Azure Ox of Heaven did not engage in combat; instead, it moved its four hooves and vanished into the azure sky.

This profound technique is called Azure Sky Escape. It is extremely fast, comparable to the teleportation of a True Monarch. When activated by a Demon King of the Fourth Realm, it can even ignore the spatial blockade of ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

However, although the Azure Ox Escape Technique of Heaven is fast, it is still not as fast as a True Lord like Zhao Yue.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Wang Chan's pupils contracted slightly as he looked down, discovering that his lower body and the Azure Ox of the Sky were both covered and spread by the icy, mysterious ice, emanating a strong chill.

"A useless struggle."

Zhao Yue chuckled softly and slowly raised her slender, jade-like hand.

The Azure Ox of Heaven is a fourth-realm demon king with over a thousand years of cultivation. It has condensed immortal blood and immortal energy, making it thick-skinned and extremely resistant.

Even if a mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch were to intervene, they could only repel the enemy, not kill them.

In this situation, although Zhao Yue and the Northern Yin Cauldron Beast are True Lord level beings, it would still require a protracted battle if they wanted to forcibly suppress the Azure Ox of Heaven.

Therefore, Zhao Yue did not hesitate at all and directly struck Wang Chan with a palm.

Even if a Golden Core cultivator is exceptionally talented and possesses powerful magic weapons, in a battle between Nascent Soul cultivators, he is nothing more than a slightly larger ant.

If Zhao Yue wants to end the battle quickly, a direct confrontation with the Azure Ox of Heaven is a poor strategy. The best strategy is to capture the leader first and attack the enemy when they are forced to defend.

After all, the Azure Ox of Heaven could block her Heavenly Gang Mystic Technique, but it was absolutely impossible for it to perfectly protect a Golden Core cultivator when she joined forces with the Northern Yin Cauldron Beast.

For Zhao Yue, defeating a Golden Core cultivator at the peak of his cultivation was far easier than defeating a fourth-realm demon king.

Rumble!
Several dozen breaths later, the turbulent spiritual energy of heaven and earth completely subsided, and Wang Chan stood frozen in place, his body below the neck encased in ice.

The Azure Ox of Heaven, however, was restrained on the ground by the Northern Yin Cauldron Beast and unable to move because it was wary of the contracted cultivator.

"I never thought you'd end up like this."

Zhao Yue reached out and took the jade pendant from Wang Chan's waist, saying with great interest.

Wang Chan didn't speak, but glanced at Zhao Yue.

"What, you're still not convinced?" Zhao Yue played with the jade pendant in her hand.

"A loss is a loss, there's no point in complaining." Wang Chan said calmly, then asked, "But what about you? How is your Nascent Soul stage now? Can you handle Chen Beiwu?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yue remained silent for a moment.

When Yin reaches its limit and Yang becomes pure, the primordial spirit begins to develop.

When a True Monarch of the Immortal Alliance first forms his Nascent Soul, he is like a newborn infant. Although he possesses immense power, his form is not yet firm, his spirit is not yet solid, and his Yang energy is not yet abundant. He needs a period of time to be nurtured and transformed.

Therefore, most newly promoted True Monarchs in the Immortal Alliance will choose to immediately go into seclusion for a hundred years after their Nascent Soul is born and they have attained the position of True Monarch. They will guard their inner Yellow Court, practice embryonic breathing and forgetfulness, until their Nascent Soul is completely perfected. As a result, the official website of the Immortal Alliance says: "After the Nascent Soul is formed, they will not go out for a hundred years."

However, in order to prepare for this Immortal Sect Exchange Conference, Zhao Yue did not choose to continue her seclusion to nurture her Pure Yang Nascent Soul, but instead chose to emerge from seclusion early.

“Thirty percent of our strength is enough,” Zhao Yue said.

The newly promoted True Monarch is not without combat power. He can freely mobilize the Heavenly Gang True Qi that has been transformed in his dantian and the Heavenly Gang Dharma Image he has forged. However, he cannot unleash his full power to avoid damaging his nascent soul.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Yue possesses unparalleled talent. Even with only 30% of her full strength, it is enough for her to suppress a mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch (a cultivator from the Immortal Alliance) and crush a late-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch in the Cangyuan Realm.

If she achieves the Pure Yang Nascent Soul stage and her cultivation fully enters the mid-Nascent Soul stage, Zhao Yue is even confident that she can easily suppress the late-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Immortal Alliance.

Sensing Zhao Yue's confidence, Wang Chan remained silent.

Yes, he's out of the game now.

Without his intervention to restrain Qingxiao and Yuxiao, Chen Beiwu alone would have no chance of defeating the Three Immortals.

……

In the Crimson Flame Realm, there is a mountain range with incredibly dense earth vein energy. As Chen Beiwu's fingertips descended, lines crisscrossed, forming countless intricate and obscure array diagrams.

These array diagrams flowed slowly, sometimes disappearing and sometimes appearing, emanating a terrifying aura that sent chills down the spines of Yu Zhaohua and the other three.

"Buzz!"

As Chen Beiwu sketched out the final array diagram, the magnificent array, covering a radius of a thousand miles, flashed nine times before quickly stabilizing and concealing all its energy.

"What formation is this?"

Ye Xinya pursed her lips, her gaze towards Chen Beiwu filled with amazement.

As is well known, a large array with 27 or fewer array diagrams is a low-grade third-tier treasure array, an array with 54 or fewer array diagrams is a mid-grade third-tier treasure array, and an array with 81 or fewer array diagrams is a high-grade third-tier treasure array.

But just now, Chen Beiwu set up a large array diagram with as many as ninety-nine diagrams!

What is this concept?
This means that Chen Beiwu, at such a young age, is already only one step away from becoming a fourth-tier Xuan Array Master, a master of array techniques capable of drawing and presiding over third-tier supreme treasure arrays.

"It cannot be said." Chen Beiwu smiled.

The matter was accomplished in secrecy; this array was a gift he had specially prepared for the cultivators of the Shangqing Immortal Sect.

"So, are we going to go hunting again?" Yu Zhaohua asked curiously.

"Let's wait and see. We have almost enough jade tokens. If we take down the Shangqing Immortal Sect, we can win the championship." Chen Beiwu stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the crimson sky.

……

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Yue stood quietly atop a solitary peak, her robes fluttering in the wind.

"We haven't found a single trace, sister. Have we guessed wrong? The Yan Emperor has already perished!" Zhao Qing transmitted her thoughts telepathically.

"Until the very end, who can know whether it's true or false?" Zhao Yue shook her head slightly.

The environment of the Crimson Flame Realm is too harsh; even a True Monarch's divine sense would need to spend a great deal of time searching the realm.

"what!"

Just then, Zhao Yue's eyes flickered slightly as she looked towards the southeast.

"Sister, did you find it?" Zhao Yu asked curiously.

"Yes, I just detected traces of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect cultivators with my divine sense. They're all hiding in that mountain," Zhao Yue said softly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing and Zhao Yu could not hide their disappointment.

They were more concerned about news of Emperor Yan than about the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

"Don't be too careless. Chen Beiwu's spiritual sense is no less than mine, and he has already discovered my location," Zhao Yue reminded them.

"what?"

Zhao Yu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The eldest sister, Zhao Yue, is a Nascent Soul True Monarch. Her spiritual sense is far superior to that of a Golden Core True Person.

Chen Beiwu, a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core stage, actually possessed a divine sense comparable to his elder sister's. Such a level of divine sense strength was simply outrageous!

"It's alright. If we can defeat Chen Beiwu once, we can defeat him a second time," Zhao Qing said nonchalantly.

"Wait, Emperor Yan is here too." Zhao Yue's eyes narrowed, and she smiled.

Upon hearing this, both Zhao Qing and Zhao Yu's eyes lit up.

On the other side, Chen Beiwu slowly opened his eyes.

finally come!

He waited here for fifteen days, until finally the prodigy of the Shangqing Immortal Sect came to his door.

Upon noticing Chen Beiwu's movements, Yu Zhaohua and the other three all wore solemn expressions.

"No need to be nervous, just proceed according to the plan."

Chen Beiwu raised his hand, signaling Yu Zhaohua and the others to step back.

Yan glanced at Yu Zhaohua, but did not move, remaining in the same spot.

It has a unique personality: it either doesn't want anything at all, or it has to be the best.

After this period of observation, Yan has changed his contractual target.

The reason is simple: it discovered that the Golden Core Chen Beiwu forged was exceptionally powerful, no weaker than an innate Dao Body, and its future achievements were limitless, making it more suitable to become a contract cultivator.

However, Chen Beiwu had too many companion beasts, so many that Yan found it somewhat unbearable.

That's why it's been thinking about how to start a conversation all this time.

Three breaths later, five streaks of light crashed down and landed in front of Chen Beiwu, revealing the figures of the Shangqing Immortal Sect cultivators.

But to Chen Beiwu's surprise, the three immortals of Shangqing did not look at him, but stared intently at Yan beside them.

"???"

Chen Beiwu frowned slightly, then instantly realized: "You know Senior Yan?"

"I don't know him, but I've heard of Senior Yan's reputation."

Zhao Yue was somewhat surprised to hear Chen Beiwu address her, but did not reveal any further information.

"That……"

As soon as Chen Beiwu opened his mouth, a chill suddenly ran through him.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Zhao Yue's fair hand pressed forward, and the space within a radius of ten feet was suddenly frozen, completely turning Chen Beiwu into an ice sculpture.

This sudden attack was swift, accurate, and ruthless, demonstrating the Nascent Soul True Monarch's mastery of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to the fullest extent, far beyond what a Golden Core True Person could withstand.

However, there was no joy in Zhao Yue's eyes. Instead, she flashed again and teleported back to her two younger sisters, Qingxiao and Yuxiao.

The next instant, Chen Beiwu's ice sculpture shattered and collapsed, turning into countless five-colored light spots flying in the sky. This was the signature profound power of the Five Qi Vine, [Five Qi Puppet Transformation].

Seeing this, Zhao Yue showed no surprise.

If Chen Beiwu were so easy to deal with, she wouldn't be so wary of him.

“Fairy Yuexiao, your sudden sneak attack during our conversation seems to have lost the dignity of the True Lord.” Chen Beiwu appeared, pointing his fingers like a pen and circulating the Primordial True Qi within his body.

"The victor is king, the loser is a bandit. How can there be sneak attacks among cultivators?" Zhao Yue said calmly. "If you can't react in time, it only means that your strength is insufficient and your spiritual sense is weak."

“Indeed, then please, Fairy Yuexiao, try out the third-order formation I have set up.”

"The earth's energy flows to the depths, the evil veins return to their origin—rise!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Beiwu used his fingers as array flags to activate the third-tier supreme treasure array [Earth Lung Molten Abyss All-Sealing Array] that he had been preparing for a long time.

boom!
boom!
boom!
Thunderclaps rose from all sides, like the earth roaring.

The ground beneath Zhao Yue and her group of five suddenly cracked open, and countless thick, dragon-like, dark red earth evil energies tore through the molten lava and scorched earth, soaring into the sky and stirring up endless rubble and dust.

But within the formation, Zhao Yue and the others flickered wildly, treating the Molten Abyss Fiend Pillar as nothing and easily dodging it.

Seeing this, Chen Beiwu was not surprised at all. He immediately cooperated with the golden egg and used the Three Absolute True Qi to break through space and escape in the opposite direction.

While the third-tier supreme treasure array was indeed powerful, the array he set up lacked too many array-setting materials, and could only draw upon the power of mountains and earth veins, thus greatly reducing its power. It posed no threat to the Golden Core prodigies of the Upper Three Immortal Sects, let alone Nascent Soul True Monarchs like Zhao Yue.

"Chase!"

Zhao Yue grabbed Zhao Qing and Zhao Yu with both hands and activated her teleportation ability to follow them.

The Three Immortals working together are the strongest.

To avoid damaging her pure Yang nascent soul, she would not risk a one-on-one fight with Chen Beiwu.
